I’ve spent the past eight or so years trying to explain to people just how unhinged the valley tech scene has become. Saying “literally a cult” sounds like an exaggeration, but people don’t realize their little chatbot app is run by people who are in a sex and/or death cult (depends on the day)

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, who was the world's greatest detective but complete rubbish at baking, sighed.

T-Rex: His latest cake was, once again, complete rubbish!T-Rex: He was BEYOND frustrated. He'd TRIED using his detective skills to deduce why his cakes sucked so bad, but even so, they only ever told him why THIS cake sucked (he accidentally used a cup of baking soda instead of a teaspoon) and not why the NEXT cake would suck.
Dromiceiomimus: They always sucked for a completely new reason?
T-Rex: They ALWAYS sucked for a completely NEW reason!!
Utahraptor: Surely at some point he'd run out of new ways to ruin cakes?
T-Rex: You'd think!

T-Rex: "But sadly there are SO MANY WAYS to ruin a cake," Sherlock sighed, as he put his batter into the oven on the top rack instead of the centre one, which would, 40 minutes later, burn the cake's top while leaving the bottom underdone.
Utahraptor: Sherlock, no!!
T-Rex: He can't hear you! He's fictional!!
T-Rex: And he's having the WORST DAY of his FICTIONAL LIFE - and to make matters EVEN WORSE, the WHOLE WORLD is going to hear about it, because I'm writing it down and publishing it all!!
Off panel: Nooooooo

“It’s pretty much the command center of your family, where you integrate all the health data from your family, safety information, and other coordination tasks, and the system is highlighting what’s most urgent that the family needs to see, view, and act on at that moment,” Park says.“Park offers an example of a note a user might use the Luffu Link’s voice logging button to add to the system: Mom was really agitated today as I gave her her medication.
“That’s an actually important psychological observation about somebody. But am I going to bring out my phone, fire up an app, and log that on the go when I’m harried or busy with other tasks?” he says. “This is really meant to capture things in that moment. Even for yourself, it’s like, Hey, I’m feeling this way as I do this or do that.””

The rapid way in which this has just become an accepted daily feature of American politics, rather than an immediate presidency-ending scandal, is yet another reminder that @tompepinsky.com was right a decade ago, despite all the people who didn’t want to hear it then & still don’t now.
